Story
Meet Abel—a sweet, gentle soul who has been a beloved long-term resident at our shelter. He’s a staff and volunteer favorite, and we’re heartbroken to see him returned, especially around the holidays. Abel is ready to find his forever home, and we’re hoping that someone special will give him the love and stability he truly deserves. Abel is a house hippo at heart, loving nothing more than lounging inside where it’s warm and cozy. He absolutely hates the cold, so a comfy spot indoors is his idea of paradise. He’s also a huge fan of treats—any kind of snack will do! Abel enjoys car rides and is a fantastic co-pilot, doing great in the car and loving the opportunity to go on adventures (even if it’s just to the store or for a short drive). On walks, Abel can be a bit of a puller, but he’s got a lot of love to give, and once you’re home, he’s all about cuddles and comfort. Abel would thrive best in a single-pet home without small children. He prefers to be the center of attention, and a calm, predictable environment will help him feel most at ease. Abel takes an inexpensive medication called Fluoxetine, which helps with his anxiety. It works wonders for him, and he’ll need to stay on it for the rest of his life. We are only looking for adopters who are comfortable continuing this medication routine to ensure he stays happy and healthy. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who just needs a little extra support to be his best self, Abel could be your perfect match. He’s ready to shower you with love and make your home his safe, cozy haven. Able is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Hello my name is Leo, I am around d 2 years old. I'm really sad here and I just want someone to love. If you get me out, I love to run around, play with toys, and I'll try and steal some butt scratches. At the end of the day, I think I'll be a good couch potato.

Story
Hi, I'm Ash. I've been through a lot, and I'm still searching for my happy ending. When I first came to FDHS, I was in rough shape. I was a stray with a painful hip injury and was pretty freaked out. The kind people at FDHS took care of me, fixed my hip, and showed me lots of love. I got adopted once and for a little while, I though I'd found my forever. But it turns out it wasn't the right fit. I don't really do well with being left alone for long periods. It makes me feel scared and unsure- I need someone I know I can count on to come back for me. I prefer a quieter lifestyle and would love nothing more than a steady home where I can feel safe and loved. I'll be honest- I'm a little stubborn sometimes, but I'm also a really big softie who loves really hard. I'll be your shadow, your protector, and your biggest fan. I get along fine with other animals, but because of my hip, I need a more gentle playmate. I just want a person who won't give up on me. Someone who sees my past quirks and understands that I've been hurt before. If you can give me the love and stability I've been searching for, I promise to give you my whole heart in return.Will you be my forever?**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 55 lbs**

Story
Oh hey, I’m Apollo!One day, I wandered up to a nice lady’s house, got a ride from the Sheriff’s Department, and now I’m here at FDHS, ready to find my forever family! My old people never came looking for me, but that just means I get a fresh start—pretty exciting, right?I’m a laid-back, people-loving, butt-wiggling pro. Seriously, my tail wags should be in a museum. I soak up attention like a sponge and will happily be your loyal, goofy sidekick. Other dogs? They get me a little too hyped sometimes, so I can be selective when choosing a new canine bestie. Think we’re a match? Fill out an application and come meet me—I’ll be waiting with my best wiggles!
